Spring Overnight Event--March 30th

A new opportunity is being offered to all cub scouts in Pack 246.  We will be going to a lock-in at Base Camp in Fort Snelling on Friday, March 30.  It begins at 8:00pm and last until 8:00am the next morning.  The cost is $30 for the scout, and the pack will cover the cost of the parent.  The boys will be able to do some rock climbing, bouldering, archery, games, and crafts.  Each scout will also receive a Base Camp t-shirt that they will tie dye at the camp.  This event is for all Cub Scouts ages 5-11.  It should be a blast!  More will be shared at our Blue and Gold Banquet.

Blue and Gold Banquet--Feb. 17

Pack 246 will be holding their annual Blue and Gold Banquet on Friday, February 17 at 6:00pm at the church.  This is a ceremony honoring the Webelos 2 scouts who achieve their Arrow of Light Award.  This is the final step to becoming a Boy Scout. 

Each den is responsible for bringing the following (enough for 12 people) for the potluck:  Tigers-beverages, Wolves-salad/side, Bears-dessert, Webelos 1-main dish, Webelos 2-beverages.

Please r.s.v.p. to Brenda Sandquist by 2-13-12 if you plan on attending. 

Also, if you plan on being in Cub Scouts next year, be ready to sign up for the next year of scouts.  It is $15 to recharter, so bring your checkbook.  You will not have to fill out any new paperwork!  :)

We hope to see you there!

Pinewood Derby Feb. 4, 2012

Saturday's Pinewood Derby race for the cub scouts of Pack 246 was a huge success!  Thank you to those who helped set up the track, sit through time trials, run the clock, organize the food and venue, and volunteer on race day.  So many people were involved, and we can't thank you enough.  The Sportsmanship award will be presented at our Blue and Gold Banquet on Friday, Feb. 17th.  We hope to see you there!
